Carpet cleaning is one of the most tedious tasks in any household. Carpets are exposed to all sorts of dirt and stain. You cannot wash it like your tablecloth. It is way too harder than that. You need some advanced set of equipment and techniques to carry out the process. Power washing is one of the common methods used nowadays. It uses electric power backed pressure to clean the hard surfaces of carpets. It is one of the safest methods as well if you consider the perseverance of your carpet. After all, carpets are nothing but the investment of deceivingly larger proportions.

Power washing effectively involves four components – Power washer, carpet cleaner/degreaser, brushes and chemical sprayer. Some of the power washers come with an inbuilt chemical sprayer. The brushes need to be anywhere from medium to soft. Carpet cleaners are required when you deal with carpets or rugs. Carpet businesses make use of power wash rugs too. Such rugs are best suited for eastern carpets. When carpets aren’t that rugged, they aren’t direly required. These power washing guidelines are subject to changes depending on type of surface and object you work with. Washing away grease or solid dirt is a whole different ballgame.

There are some basic guidelines to follow in power washing. As a rule of thumb, the farther you are from the carpet, the safer it stays. Do not get too close to carpet with your power washer. Secondly, you may at times, be required to hang up the carpet during washing. Once you finish washing, hang them out to dry. Instead of taking days, power washing makes sure the carpet dries in 1-2 days. The list of techniques involved in power washing doesn’t have too many downsides. It is the quickest and effective way to clean your carpets.
